A shield-stop is using the shield to stop a dash animation immediately. This is particularly useful for running into the opponent when it is expected of him to attack you. This will then shieldthe attack and open up the opportunity to shield grab, SHFFL, etc. It's a useful mindgame so long as it's not abused to the point of predictability.
